The classic Stainless Steel pushbutton; no matter who you are, you have seen or pushed a button of this type at least once in your life.
We all know the subtle "click" when pressing this button. A small tactile feedback gives you the feeling that something just happened.
You've turned something on. And you loved it.
"We have a click"
This click you feel in the pushbuttons is not something that 'just happens'. It's because of the mechanism inside that you feel this click that breaks or makes the continuity between the contacts on the back of the button.
The NorTide engineers are proud to say that the NorTide buttons have the most over-engineered "click" in the world. The NorTide pushbuttons instantly give you a feeling of high-end quality and yet at the same time, you feel that this button is built to last. It's like closing the door on a car.

The housing of this button is made completely from anodised aluminium, which makes it suitable for all outdoor use. Dust, mud, salt water, no problem!
Momentary vs latching
Momentary pushbutton
If you press a momentary pushbutton, the contacts inside will close and turn on the electronics that you connected to it. You will not hear a "click".
As soon as you let go, the button will bounce back and disconnect.
This type of switch is suitable for:
- Horns
- Bilge pumps
- Winches
- Outboard/sterndrive trim (flaps)
Latching pushbutton
If you press a latching pushbutton, the contacts inside will close and turn on the electronics that you connected to it. You will hear a "click".
As soon as you let go, the button will stay in its place and the electronics will stay turned on. If you press the button again, it will disconnect.
This type of switch is suitable for:
- Lights
- Deck or shower pumps
- USB power
- Many other electronics
12V/24V Heavy Duty IP67 pushbuttons
Heavy duty buttons for heavy duty applications
We consider every application on board of a boat - no matter what kind of boat - as heavy duty. Every type of boat meets tough conditions, whether it's rain, saltwater or mud.
Where most pushbuttons are only rated IP56, have a maximum current of 5 Amps, and are made out of silver brass material, all of our heavy duty buttons are rated IP67, can handle up to 20 Amps and are made out of high grade Stainless Steel 316 for the silver versions and anodised aluminium for the black version. On top of that, we managed to combine those unique specifications with a high-end housing, making the buttons suitable for every vessel, ranging from luxury yachts to workboats!

12V/24V Pushbuttons with integrated fuse
Not all buttons are created equal.
The pushbutton with integrated fuse is the most recent improvement that NorTide added to its already unique collection. No need for an external fuse box anymore. With this unique IP67 button you get it all inside one housing.

A stainless steel dimmer switch or button really makes the difference when it comes to the final touch of your interior. You do not always want your lighting to be at maximum brightness. Bright lights can be dangerous, especially when you are driving your boat or RV at night and you want as little light as possible hitting your eyes.
The alternative to completely turning the lights off is to use our IP67, 12V / 24V dimmer. This smart dimmer is a touch-activated button, which controls the output with a PWM signal, creating a smooth and efficient dimmer effect.

The new Marine Standard
We are proud to introduce our dual output pushbutton at the international boat show in Düsseldorf! This switch comes with two outputs and eliminates the need for two separate buttons to control (for example) the navigation lights and the anchor lights.
Of course this button can conduct high currents (no need for external relays) and comes only in marine grade stainless steel 316, making it perfect for all conditions and applications.
